First, I don't know anything about this software. I have seen it mentioned a few times as being beneficial for creating 3D drawings and converting 2D to 3D. But the several hundred $$$$ price was restrictive.
I picked up on a woodworking forum that Truespace is now available as a free download from Caligari.

Anyhow, enjoy if it's worthwhile.:rolleyes:

TrueSpace was one of the first 3D program for home computers as far back as the 1980 running on the Amiga.

Ken,

Thanks for sharing this information! I'll give it a try - "free" - my favorite!

Thanks for the "lead". Can Truespace be used to create #D objects and then import them into Designer?

Thanks,

However, it's harder than you might think. :)

I'll second go3d.

I downloaded the program last week - along with the video manual, etc. I'm no cad designer, apparently you have to have two brain cells to rub together to make this program work - it's way above my head.

It's a pretty cool program, but so's the cockpit of a 747, and I don't think I can run one of those, either.

I can make a 747 work, That's easy! This program is WAY harder than that!
